H.R. No. 1590
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Thirty Texas A&M University students are providing
valuable support to the 83rd Texas Legislature while gaining
experience in public service as members of the Agricultural and
Natural Resources Policy Internship Program and the Public Policy
Internship Program; and
WHEREAS, For more than two decades, the Agricultural and
Natural Resources Policy Internship Program has sent student
interns to Austin and Washington, D.C., where they work on a wide
array of issues; their strong background and interest in
agriculture and natural resources allow them to offer specialized
knowledge to legislators; the program was founded in response to a
request by a member of the United States Congress for an intern who
could assist his office with these matters, and it has since grown
to include numerous congressional offices as well as the United
States House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture, the
United States Department of Agriculture, and offices on the state
level during legislative years; more than 700 students have
participated in semester-long internships; and
WHEREAS, The Public Policy Internship Program, established
in 1999, works with various colleges and departments to create an
interdisciplinary environment for comprehensive academic training,
research, and policy programming; interns in the nation's capital
and in Austin serve in a variety of settings that align with their
academic and professional goals; more than 400 students have
participated in semester-long internships; and
WHEREAS, Led by director Heather Wheeler, both internship
programs select their highly qualified and dedicated participants
through a rigorous application process; in addition to academic
achievement, students must demonstrate their potential to take full
advantage of the opportunities for scholarly and professional
development as well as the desire to serve our state and nation; and
WHEREAS, The 2013 Texas A&M University policy interns serving
in Austin are RosaLeah Brite, Ethan Caudillo, Tatiana Claros, Macy
Cotton, Kaysi Dean, Meredith Earwood, Daniel Evert, Jamie Feldt,
Paige Fuselier, Joel Garcia, Crystal Gonzales, Christina Hayes,

Macha, Meenakshi Manivannan, Megan McKisson, Kaleb McLaurin, Sarah
Norman, Grace Richardson, Jesus Rodriguez, Jennifer Salazar,
Morgan Scott, Xanthe Shirley, Daniela Silva, Bryan Smith, JohnPaul
Wiechkoske, and Anna Wood; and
WHEREAS, Through the years, the Agricultural and Natural
Resources Policy and Public Policy Internship Programs have helped
exceptional students deepen their understanding of governmental
operations while developing professional skills and networks, and
alumni have gone on to make vital contributions and assume
leadership roles in a variety of arenas; the outstanding young
people who are giving of their time and talents throughout this
legislative session can indeed take pride in their achievements and
service to the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby recognize the Texas A&M University Agricultural
and Natural Resources Policy Internship Program and the Public
Policy Internship Program and commend the current participants for
their diligence and commitment; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard from the
Texas House of Representatives.
